Structural modification of the Dy6 cores of [Dy6L3(SCN)6(DMF)8]·4DMF (1) and [Dy6L3(NO3)6(DMF)4(H2O)2]·8DMF (2) results in the transition of magnetic relaxation behavior from single relaxation to multiple relaxation.

<p>Organometallic molecules based on [Dy(Cp<sup>R</sup>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> cations have emerged as clear front-runners in the search for high-temperature single-molecule magnets. However, despite a growing family of structurally-similar molecules, these molecules show significant variations in their magnetic properties, demonstrating the importance of understanding magneto-structural relationships towards developing more efficient design strategies. Here we refine our <i>ab initio</i> spin dynamics methodology and show that it is capable of quantitative prediction of relative relaxation rates in the Orbach region. Applying it to all reported [Dy(Cp<sup>R</sup>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> cations allows us to tease out differences in their relaxation dynamics, highlighting that the main discriminant is the magnitude of the crystal field splitting. We subsequently employ the method to predict relaxation rates for a series of hypothetical organometallic sandwich compounds, revealing an upper limit to the effective barrier to magnetic relaxation of around 2200 K, which has been reached. However, we show that further improvements to single-molecule magnets can be made by moving vibrational modes off-resonance with electronic excitations.</p>

When using single molecule magnets (SMMs) in spintronics devices, controlling the quantum tunneling of the magnetization (QTM) and spin-lattice interactions is important. To improve the functionality of SMMs, researchers have explored the effects of changing the coordination geometry of SMMs and the magnetic interactions between them. Here, we report on the effects of the octa-coordination geometry on the magnetic relaxation processes of dinuclear dysprosium(III) complexes in the low-temperature region. Mixed ligand dinuclear Dy3+ triple-decker complexes [(TPP)Dy(Pc)Dy(TPP)] (1), which have crystallographically equivalent Dy3+ ions, and [(Pc)Dy(Pc)Dy(TPP)] (2), which have non-equivalent Dy3+ ions, (Pc2− = phthalocyaninato; TPP2− = tetraphenylporphyrinato), undergo dual magnetic relaxation processes. This is due to the differences in the ground states due to the twist angle (φ) between the ligands. The relationship between the off-diagonal terms and the dual magnetic relaxation processes that appears due to a deviation from D4h symmetry is discussed.

Using ligands incorporating both amine and acylhydrazine Schiff base groups, two {Dy2} and a {Dy6} SMMs are synthesized. Two {Dy2} show dual magnetic relaxation behaviors, which could be ascribed to the joint contributions of single ion anisotropy and magnetic interactions.
